A simple approach based on grammar is easily imagined. A general concept is a composite of less than general concepts. Hence, merely assembling antecedent parts into a coherent whole generates a unity by bringing the units together with a union operator. This semiotic distinction differs from the latter notion of Bertram Russell that uses the conjunction “and” to relate two atomic sentence to form a molecular sentence. This is an interpretation of CSP’s papers on the role of the copula in logical sentences. Cheers Jerry
